Reno Estate Wedding – Jessica & Mike – Rancharrah

Reno Estate Wedding – Jessica & Mike’s Rancharrah Wedding

Jessica and Mike got married at Rancharrah last Saturday and I was thrilled when they hired us to shoot their Reno Estate Wedding. It seems like we have been at Rancharrah more times than I can count this year every time the weddings are in front of the mansion by the lake. Not this time! Jessica & Mike decided to have their wedding in the “Grove” to the side of the mansion where there were trees and twinkle lights to help in the romantic ambiance! Everyone started over at the peppermill, getting dressed and having a wonderful time. They day went smoothly and we were on time (which I absolutly love) for everything. I try to get my brides to pad extra time in to the schedule… so if you think that your hair and makeup will be done in 1 hr, then pad in an extra 30 minutes. Since weddings always run behind, doing this with the entire day will ensure that you are more likely to be on schedule. If you are behind time is most often taken away from the photographers scheduled time causing you to get less photos then planned (we get the short end of the stick). With this wedding, Jessica planned in plenty of time and we ended up being an hour early!!! They were even able to enjoy their cocktail hour 🙂

Jessica Pete @ Once Upon A Time Events was the planner/designer for this wedding and she did an amazing job! From the Amphitheater ceremony seating to the amazing reception decor. Everything was just perfect!
